I started my relationship with CrossFit by making fun of it.

I was a runner and a climber even smaller than I am now, I had never touched a barbell. I became curious about what a friend of mine was doing, taking nutrition seriously and exercising aggressively. Naturally we poked fun at the friend, as is tradition. Just like Mark Walberg In the critically acclaimed movie, “The Other Guys” I sought to learn more about this new type of activity in order to make fun of it in a more refined way. I started teaching myself movements, but It wasn’t until I attended an on-ramp that I understood the full value of CrossFit.

Fast forward to me watching and re-watching all of the games documentaries. I had to be more involved, I decided to get my level one at The Ranch in Aromas, CA; the home of first CrossFit games. CrossFit was permanently part of my life after that.

I have been an athlete my whole life. I was a state placer for the Washington State Wrestling tournament, competitive power lifter, and competed in physique bodybuilding. My love for fitness easily drove me to my career in personal training. My passion is helping other people reach their fitness goals and change lives.

Being the “bro” that I am, I avoided the box at all costs. However I started dabbling in some Olympic lifting and it inevitably followed. It wasn’t until I started CrossFit that I fell in love with the sport. The competitive, tight knit, family nature of the box showed me what it was all about. The people and friends I have met here are truly amazing. I am excited to share my knowledge and continue to learn with this amazing community.

I have been a lifelong gym rat and been doing functional fitness for 10 years now.

One of my favorite movements are preacher curls, but I can’t stand man-makers.

One of my biggest goals and dreams would be to do a 1-arm pull-up.
